Termites are a group of eusocial insects that‚ until recently‚ were classified at the taxonomic rank of order Isoptera (see taxonomy below)‚ but are now accepted as the epifamily Termitoidae‚ of the cockroach order Blattodea. While termites are commonly known‚ especially in Australia‚ as "white ants‚" they are only distantly related to the ants. Like ants‚ some bees‚ and wasps—which are all placed in the separate order Hymenoptera—termites divide labour among castes‚ produce overlapping generations

The study of cells has been limited by their small size‚ and so they were not seen and described until 1665‚ when Robert Hooke first looked at dead cells from an oak tree. His contemporary‚ Anton van Leeuwenhoek‚ crafted lenses and with the improvements in optical aids‚ a new world was opened. Magnification and resolving power limit

is called "Taxonomy." This is when scientists put organisms into groups when they have things in common. The first groups they use are the Kingdoms. There are five kingdoms: ➢ Animal Kingdom ➢ Plant Kingdom ➢ Fungi Kingdom ➢ Protist Kingdom ➢ Moneran Kingdom Each Kingdom is then split into smaller groups‚ called Phyla. Each Phylum is split into smaller groups called Classes‚ each Class is split into Orders‚ each Order is split into Families‚ each Family is split into

desirable traits. This could be done by breeding or genetically modifying the organisms. Unicellular organisms are those organisms that are microscopic and comprise of only one cell‚ whereas a multicellular organism consist of many cells. Prokaryotes‚ protists and several fungi are unicellular. They absorb nutrients directly through their body surfaces and excrete them by use of pseudopodia. Gaseous exchange is through their body surfaces. Multicellular organisms on the other hand have their cells organized
